Description
A rare Dream Machine in fabulous condition, offering superb playability. Schecter specialized in beautiful exotic woods, like Shedua, Koa, Cocobola, Pau Fero, Mahogany, Rosewood, Purple Heart, or figured maple (necks), and Red Oak, Paduak, Zebrawood, Teak, Koa, Anjico, Imbuya, and many more (bodies).
The three Monstertone pickups sound incredible & deliver a wide array of rich, dynamic tones. David Schecter came in with the invention of the F500T pick-up, the first successful tapped pick-up. Tapped means that the F500T was a beefed-up pick-up with almost twice as much windings than a standard Fender pick-up, but it had a tap after the normal number of windings, so you could "switch off" the second half of the coil so to say. For this reason the pick-up did not have the normal two cables but three (ground, half coil, full coil). The pick-up coils were switched by three mini switches with three positions each (tapped, off, full), instead of the Fender 5-way switch.
Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case!
